Hey folks! I'm proud to announce that I am putting Grey Blinds and Sunflowers out for its third round of beta reading!
Basics
Word count: 85k (estimated) | WIP Introduction | Playlist | Genre(s): crime fic, dystopian, new adult, sci fi, fantasy
Trigger warnings: homophobia/transphobia, minor ableism hints, systemic violence/injustice/antagonism to one group of people, unjust imprisonment, violence (guns, fist fights, bomb mentions, knives), brainwashing/hypnotism, depiction of sensory overload, slightly creepy Eldritch entities, terrorism mentions, scarring, mild excess of alcohol mention, mild sexual themes (all consensual), references to death, funerals and grief (none explicitly depicted)
Expectations
The document will go out on the 7th of August. The deadline for reading would be the 31st of October.
If you have the spoons to comment as you read, I'd love that so much! But there will be a feedback form afterwards
I need to know if this is good enough to send to query. I'm hoping that the last two rounds caught my major structural issues, but the number of sideplots may still be a problem. I'm looking for people willing to pick me up on grammar, sentence structure, and the nitty gritty of how I'm writing, as well as people to check over the overall plot!
If you feel like volunteering and want something to read over the latter part of summer, apply here!
Applications open until the 20th of August
Taglist: @thelaughingstag, @naps-tries-writing
Even if you can’t read, PLEASE boost !!!!
But Low, I don't want to click on the WIP intro! Gimme a summary here! (Of course, check below the cut)
